The Greenbrier

Over the years I have developed a fantastic relationship with The Greenbrier. This is one of those iconic must-visit resorts that simply has to be visited to be truly understood. This luxury resort is located in the Allegheny Mountains of West Virginia just a short four hour's drive from Washington D.C.. It is very historic as visitors have been going there since 1778. As far as I am concerned, luxury service was invented here. Go in the fall where the colors are magnificent. Your first-time trip should be at least a three-night stay.
